Help me give my students materials to keep their minds at work over the summer.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Litman's classroom raised $285

My Project

The items that I have chosen here will engage my kiddos after school breaks for the summer. I've included fine motor skill items as well as some math and science materials that they can use both outside and indoors. Also included is a bag to keep all of their items together and organized.

My goals for this project is to keep my kiddos minds busy over the summer.

In addition to these requested items, I've already gathered composition books and pencils, so they can continue to work on writing skills as well. Additionally, I have watercolor paper to accompany the paint that I'm requesting.

I know that my kiddos will appreciate and use all of these materials because they are always eager to participate in art, science, math and writing activities that I provide for them. What's even better is that they will continue to develop those skills while all along they think they're playing!
